Lesley sits on Gary’s desk and Gary stands between her parted thighs.
“Gary, could I take the day off tomorrow?.” She asks threading her fingers in his hair. He trail his arm down the small of her back.
“Why is that brunnie?” He archs a brows Lesley bite down her lip
“Umm, Stacy is holding a sleepover party with her friends and she invited me to come over to help her in the preparations.”
Gary sits on the swivel chair and take out a cigarette. He lights it and puff out smoke.
“Do you really have to go?.” He groans out. She let out a small smile.
“Sure Gary, I need t, Stacy has been a wonderful friend to me, I can’t turn down such an offer from her.” When he doesn’t reply, Lesley get off the table and straddle him.
“It only gonna be a day Gary … not forever.” Gary snake his arms around her and grab her butt. pulling her close to him.
“A second without you seems like forever.” He says huskily. The blush returned, she lean down on him, and kissed him slowly..
“Please Gary, it’s just a day okay.” Gary shrugs.
“I can’t refuse you, not when you’re staring at me this way.” Lesley laughs and get off his thighs.
“Ghary, it’s high time you consider Hazel, the poor girl can’t grow up without parental love. Imagine leaving a girl her age in her apartment of her own.. C’mon Gary.” She lower herself on the couch and pour herself wine from a bottle.
“Brunnie, she’s never told me she doesn’t like the idea of living alone.”
“She dosen’t need to tell you before you realise it’s not good for the kid. She believes you should know your responsibility as a dad.” she argues. Gary stares on for a full minute without saying anything.
“So what’s your suggestion?.” He voiced out.
“Allow her live with you in the same apartment Gary, let her know she means a lot to you.” Lesley pleas. Gary runs his hand through his hair.
“But I provide all she needs.” Lesley shook her head vehemently.
“Money is not the ultimate Gary, loe and care is. You need to love her and care for her.” Gary huffs and butts the cigar on the ashtray.
“So you want her live with me right?” Lesley nods her head. Gary walks over to the glass walls and stuck his hand into his pants pocket.
“I do love Hazel, she’s just a combination of smart and adorable and I’m ready to go any length to make sure she gets the best. If staying with me is gonna make her happy, then so be it. I will call the maids to get her stuffs and move them to my apartment.” Lesley face beamed happily. The joy that filled her was overwhelming. She stalked over to where he was, wrapped her slender arms around him and rest her head on his back.
“She’d be the happiest person on earth Gary. Thanks for doing this.” She whispers. He turns and drew her close, looking her down intensely.
“Thanks for all you’ve been doing sexy brunnie. This past few weeks has been good since you walked into my domain.” Lesley heart fluttered at his words. Was this how it felt?.
“It’s nothing Gary.” she responds and pull away.
“It’s almost five pm. I need to fix dinner for Hazel before I get going.”
“Can’t you stay for the night, I won’t get to see you tomorrow… just say yes brunnie.” She huffed, sometimes it feels like she’s baby sitting Gary too.
“I would love to but I need to wake early tomorrow, I and Stacy are going for shopping.”
“Ben would take you home tomorrow so I guess it’s settled.” Lesley glares at him in protest. He stalked closer to her.
“I can’t, Stacy would-” He shut her off with a kiss. Lesley tried not to give in and quickly he pull away.
“Gary I need to-” He kisses her again, this time Intensely. He kissed her down to her neck. Lesley tried to hold back her moans.
“Say yes brunnie or I would kiss you till sunrise.” He kisses her down to the hollow of her neck bitting her tender skin sensually.
“Okay!, fine Gary fine!.” she mutters breathlessly. Gary pulled away and smirks. She swat his arm.
“You know you manipulated me right?.” She voice out in protests. The door opens to reveal Hazel holding a doll under her arms. She walks over to Lesley and pout.
“Lesley…. you’re baby sitting Gary more than you do me.” Hazel gripes. Gary tried to hold back his laughter.
“No Hazel, I actually came to speak to him about what we had discussed”. Hazel eyes lit up.
“And he agreed.” She continued. Hazel whipped her head to his figure with a big smile.
“Dad is that true!?.” Gary smiles.
“Yeah munchie…. you can start living in my apartment.”
“Whoopie!” She screams and flung her and arms around him, he already saw it coming so he caught her once she flung herself on him.
“You’re the best dad in the whole universe”. She breathes out in excitement. Gary kisses her hair.
“And you’re the most beautiful princess in the whole world.”
Hazel giggles as he drops her.
“Dad…. why don’t you come bake with I and Lesley?” Gary raise his brows in amusement.
“I can’t bake princess.”
“I know dad…. the more reason you will only slice the veggies….” She holds him by the hand and started pulling him out of the room. Lesley stuck her tongue out and laughs as she trail behind them.
Gary rolled his eyes as Lesley hands him the apron. He tied it loosely around his waist. Hazel, is standing on a stool with an apron thrice her size. She placed a chef cap on his head. He groans in exasperation.
“Do I have to wear all these?.” He sighs out. Hazel grins.
“Sure dad, its normal kitchen ethics”
Lesley ties hers around her waist too. She opened the cabinet and brought out all the ingredients for the baking.
“Gary you dice the onions and carrot.” She places a bunch of carrots on the counter and slide it to him. Gary roll his eyes at her and grab a knife.
“I hope I don’t turn to a wizened old grannie by the time I’m done.”
“That’d be real cute dad”. Hazel mused and they laugh.
“Hazel you dice the veggies, and careful not to hurt yourself okay?.”
“Sure thing ma’am.” Hazel saluted her. Lesley ruffles her hair and pass the tray across to her.
“And I would knead the dough.” She places the bowl of dough on the counter.
“Now let’s set to work.”she grins and began to knead. Gary holds the knife and stared I’m confusion at it.
“This is so fucked up.”He groans and began to dice the carrots carefully.
“Make it smaller than that Gary… so it’d bake faster.”
“Okay Mom.” He mutters under his breath as Hazel and Lesley grins. Minutes later Lesley and Hazel are done. Lesley leaned on the counter and watched as Gary battles with the carrots.
“If you continue at that pace Gary…. we’d stay here forever.” Lesley smirks and Hazel giggles.
“A little help won’t hurt Lesley!.” Hazel was laughing now. She went over to him and took out the ones he had diced.
“Continue with the rest while I make do with the ones you’ve done.” Lesley says with a smirk. Gary breathes out and resumed dicing. she made the first round of pies and placed it in the oven.
“Finally…. I’m done!.” He huffs and drops the knife.
“I’m never doing this again.”He washed his hand on the sink and leans against the counter.
“And I’m famished.” He reaches for the bowl of carrots and stuff some in his mouth. Hazel widened her eyes.
“You don’t do that Dad!” She gasps out. Lesley folds her arm.
“Why shouldn’t I?.”
“Cos it’s against kitchen ethics, now you have to face the punishment”. Hazel grins.
“What punishment”. Gary raises his brows and reached for a handful of carrots again. Hazel and Lesley exchanges glances.
“This punishment!”.” Hazel grabs a handful of veggies and throws it at him..
“What the-” Another handful of veggies hits his face.
“Brunnie…. you too?” Gary says removing the veggies from his face. Veggies were raining down at him now.
“Oh fuck!” Gary curse as he shields his face from thier assaults. Hazel and Lesley laughs as they throw veggies on him. Some stuck on his hair ears, and some sticking to his apron. They finished the veggies in the bowl and lean on the counter laughing out thier lungs.
“Now you look like a wizened old Grannie dad” Hazel gets off the stool and gave Lesley a high five. Gary smirks.
“Not so fast ladies…. it’s payback time” Before Lesley and Hazel could register what he said, carrots came flying at Lesley and Hazel.
“Hazel…. run!” She laughs and they began to run around the kitchen. Gary assaulting them with carrots. Hazel screamed in excitement as she ran around the kitchen with her apron thrice her size. The whole kitchen was a mess and they were all covered with veggies. The burnt smell of pies wafted through thier nose as Lesley holding a frying pan to shield her self stops in her track. Hazel hiding behind a stool stiffening her laughter.
“We are having burnties for dinner”. She hurries to the oven and brought out the tray of already burnt pies. Gary chuckles and leans on the counter.
“What in the fuckin hell is this?” They all turned to see the figure in the hallway.
“Bad timing….” Lesley mutter as Brie walks into the kitchen.
